Answer:

The gold mines of West Africa provided great wealth to West African Empires such as Ghana and Mali. Other items that were commonly traded included ivory, kola nuts, cloth, slaves, metal goods, and beads. As trade developed across Africa, major cities developed as centers for trade.

Hope this helped!

Have a wonderful day!

My name is, Lincoln

One of the main reasons why trade in West Africa was so important is because this was the "hub" of the African part of the Triangle Trade--meaning that a large majority of the slaves used in the New World came from West Africa.

How did ww2 change the population of Arizona
nasty-shy [4]
The United States government began constructing military basa within the state in preparation for war. Although far removed from the frontlines in Europe and the Pacific, Arizona's contribution to the Allied war effort was significant. Multiple prisoner of war camps and Japanese internment camps were established across the state, as well as several new airbases and associated sites, resulting in the birth of Arizona's aviation and manufacturing industries at the end of the Depression Era. The population of the state also experienced a major increase. Many veterans returned to Arizona after the war ended, laying  the foundations for the large metropolises of Pheonix and Tucson.

What is a good organizing topic for the post–Civil War era?
Elza [17]

Reconstruction is a good organizing topic for the post–Civil War era.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the Union tasted the fruit of victory in 1865's Civil War, it provided the saves with the freedom. Also, there was huge damage in the South that made the South economically poor. Soon after passing the Abolishment act President Lincoln was assassinated.

Then the presidency was automatically given to Andrew Johnson. Andrew always had thoughts the same as Lincoln had. They wanted to rebuild the South back so Johnson announced the plan of  "Reconstruction". That reflected in both Unionism and in the state's rights. With the help of the Union army, the lands were built back.

Thus the rebuilt lands were provided to the freed slaves by the Freedmen Bureau and Union Army. The Reconstruction plan existed till 1877 and it stopped due to the rise of southern whites' violence. Because of the changes made by Congress in the Reconstruction plan that turned it into a Radical Reconstruction plan.
